1Gb Missing Memory (RAM)

TroyRussell32 · 07-12-2009, 01:51 AM

My PC's Specs (CPU-Z)

I have 2x 1Gb of Corsair DDR2-533 RAM installed. But in Windows and BIOS only 1Gb shows. However the ram is installed correctly , because 2x 1Gb shows up when I run CPUID (CPU-Z).

I would greatly appriciate if anyone can help me with this,

Thanks in advance

What system are you working on?
The one listed under "My System" shows 4 gig installed 2x2Gig.

What does system information show for installed ram?
Start> All Programs>Accessories>System Tools> System Info

this mobo only handles x8 and x16 modules (low density) these are x4 (high density) so is used by dmi controller as 512 single rank each x2 modules = 1gb.
